Annual Faculty Salary Schedule (See Procedure V.C-01) The Board may increase, amend, repeal, or suspend any salary schedules and the rules and regulations pertaining thereto. Such changes may become effective on any date designated by the Board during any fiscal year. Effective Date: 1/21/92 Revised 2/16/94, 7/16/96, 5/19/98, 4/4/00, 2/20/01, 1/15/02, 6/15/04, 12/5/06, approved 6/5/07 for 7/1/07 effective date, 4/21/08 References: EC MiraCosta Community College District

5 Page 2 of 7 Pages The Board of Trustees of the MiraCosta Community College District shall establish annual, fulltime, academic personnel salary schedule increases based on the percentage increase of the ongoing district property tax revenues (as defined in Procedure V.C-01, section c multiplied by the corresponding modifier displayed in the table below: Capped at 10% Property Tax Increase Modifier Salary Increase From To From To < 0.99% % 0.000% 1.00% 1.99% % 0.995% 2.00% 2.99% % 1.794% 3.00% 3.99% % 2.793% 4.00% 4.99% % 3.867% 5.00% 12.49% % 9.992% 12.50% > % Whenever full time faculty salaries exceed salaries at the next highest paid California community college district(s) (as measured by averaging the two bench marks in the MCC annual faculty survey), the Board shall consider salary increases for the following year to be equal to the increase in the most recent June to June Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers consumer price index (CPI) for San Diego County. The current salary schedule will be included in the appendix of the policies and procedures manual and will be available in the Human Resources Office. a. Initial Placement on the Salary Schedule Initial placement on the salary schedule above Class I is based on graduate semester hours and/or upper division semester hours taken as part of a graduate degree program at accredited colleges and universities after completion of a baccalaureate degree or possession of an earned Doctorate from an accredited institution or foreign equivalent. Exceptions may be approved by the Superintendent/President. Quarter hours are equivalent to two-thirds of a semester hour. Fractional parts of units are not converted to a whole unit. However, fractional parts of units may be combined to equal one full unit. For purposes of employment, salary placement, and any other accrued benefits of recognition, all degrees and/or college units shall be measured against the following definition of "accredited institution": An accredited institution shall be any institution of higher education which is accredited by one of the six nationally recognized, regional accrediting associations: Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; New England Association of Schools and Colleges; North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges; Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

6 Page 3 of 7 Pages Institutions such as vocational or professional schools or foreign institutions of higher education shall be considered accredited if they have been accredited by the recognized organization charged with accrediting such special types of institutions. Degrees or units from foreign universities or from specialized educational institutions shall be subject to determination of equivalency by the Superintendent/President. A temporary faculty member, hired by contract for not less than a semester and no more than a complete school year as a replacement for a faculty member who has been granted leave will be placed on the class and step of the salary schedule to which he or she would be entitled as a new employee. b. Credit for Experience For employees hired to begin employment in the fiscal year a maximum of seven years credit for experience will normally be granted for placement on the salary schedule. For employees hired to begin employment in the fiscal year a maximum of eight years credit for experience will normally be granted for placement on the salary schedule. For employees hired to begin employment in the fiscal year or later a maximum of nine years credit for experience will normally be granted for placement on the salary schedule. The experience shall be successful full-time employment in accredited private and public universities, colleges, and community colleges; public and private elementary and high schools. Where circumstances warrant, e.g. academic or other experience directly related to the academic process within the District, the Board may approve initial placement above the normal limits set in this paragraph upon the recommendation of the Superintendent/President. Successful full-time teaching or other professional experience for at least 75 percent of a school year will be counted as a full year of service. Two or more FTE years of professional experience on a part-time basis in a school or college during the preceding six years shall be counted for a maximum of three years of service. Two or more years of full time or FTE part-time professional experience in a nonschool setting shall be counted for a maximum of three years of service, provided that the experience is directly related to the MiraCosta position and occurred during the last six years (e.g. librarian in a public library; counselor in a non-school setting). FTEs used will be those established for that teaching discipline or other service area at MiraCosta College. Practical experience credit will be granted for full-time employment in the applicable discipline to instructors or other non-classroom positions which are generally considered to be vocational and for which the State minimum qualifications recognize experience in addition to college course work. One year experience credit on the salary schedule will be granted for each two years of practical experience during the last ten years, up to a maximum of three steps on the salary schedule. Practical experience to be utilized for salary schedule placement shall be approved by the Superintendent/President and his/her designee.

7 Page 4 of 7 Pages c. Annual Increment An annual increment is earned at the completion of a minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of the contract year in a paid status. In no case may a faculty member advance more than one step on the salary schedule in any one school year. d. Advancement on the Salary Schedule Faculty members should constantly be striving to improve their academic competence. To implement the Board's policy that advancement on the salary schedule will be by acquisition of approved subject matter units, the following principles for evaluating courses for salary schedule advancement are established: Recognized Objectives: An instructor should have a recognized objective which would lead toward either improvement in his/her discipline or area of service; a master's or doctor's degree in area of service; or meeting minimum qualifications in an additional discipline or area of service. Classification of Disciplines: Disciplines should be construed liberally to allow a faculty member to broaden his/her intellectual background. The suggested fields are as follows: humanities; natural sciences and mathematics; social sciences; health, physical education, and recreation; business education; vocational and technical education; counselor, librarian, student services; professional courses providing preparation for administration, supervision, or designated services. Exceptions to Listed Teaching Fields: Whenever it is necessary for an instructor to cross subject field areas to improve his/her background, this will be permitted. For example, advancement in psychology often depends upon increased competence in mathematics. A psychology instructor, therefore, would be permitted to take courses in statistics to improve his/her competence in psychology. Instructors may be granted credit on the salary schedule for a maximum of eight units of lower division work, which is relevant to their area of service, taken at accredited colleges or universities. For instance, a language teacher may want to better understand his/her own language by taking courses in a foreign language which he/she has not previously studied. This type of course is usually offered only on a lower division level. Courses to be used for salary schedule advancement should be submitted for approval prior to enrollment in the course by the employee, but must be submitted within one year of completion in order to be considered. The Academic Senate Council shall forward its recommendation to the Superintendent/President for review and submission to the Board of Trustees for final approval. Notice of expected advancement on the salary schedule must be given to the Superintendent/President, in writing, by May 15 and actual evidence of qualification (transcripts, etc.) must be delivered to the Human Resources Office by September 5 to be effective during the ensuing school year.
